    How many levels of NRA membership are there?

    I was a Member, then a Life Member, then a Life Member Emeritus. I think I am now a Gold Star Life Member Emeritus with Oak Leaf Cluster, and still I get mailings asking me to get promoted. Can you ever max out or will they keep finding new membership levels?

    I just bought a 6906 with no idea how hard it would be to find a holster. My normal source was a hard no. Any ideas?

    This came to me in a dream

    Fans of the Detroit Pistons should be called The Cylinders. I have some strange dreams but at the time that seemed insanely funny.

    AGT and Howie Mandel

    Tonight is the season premiere of the subject show. After an act the subject Canadian said, "l hope America puts down their guns and votes for this act." What a ***. He's happy to come here and take our money but give nothing back but bitching. Why can't we organize like they do and boycott...

    Fiction bok recommendation

    I bought Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen at a used book sale and just finished it. I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a great story, very well told, about a disappearing part of American life. She is a terrific writer and I think this is an American classic.

    John Grisham - The Rooster Bar

    I read and enjoyed all of his early books up to and including The House. I saw the Rooster Bar at the library as a new arrival and thought I would try it. What a piece of ****! I am so glad I didn't spend money to buy it. There is no plot worth plotting, no characters with any substance...

    Waco mini series

    I thought it was very well done and very even handed. It was painful to watch at times. If anyone makes this political it is on your head.

I have it narrowed down to a Remington 1100 or a Benelli Montefeltro mostly based on price. $1000 is my touchstone, not wanting to go too far over that and hopefully a bit under. They are both...

    Foods you hate?

    The thread about Christmas dinner got me thinking about food that I don't like. For me it is mostly about texture and my mom's poor cooking ruined most of these for me. Liver. God, nothing could ruin my day like coming home from school and smelling liver being cooked. It was hard and had a...

    Guard Duck

    If you read the comic Pearls Before Swine you already know of the concept of Guard Duck. I came across this guy in Iraq in 2008 and brought him home. For nine years he sat in a tree and guarded our houses in St. Louis, South Korea, Denver, and now St. Louis again. He has never suffered a...

    Pet insurance

    Another forum member recently ran up a large vet bill getting his dog cured. He advised me to take out pet insurance. I've looked into it and it is a can of worms. I've found about eight carriers. What seems to be the highest rated one doesn't cover well care. Most have $250 deductible and...

    This is my dog, the Archduke Pogi. He is more of a casual dog but occasionally he will don his full dress uniform.
